CLEVELAND'S NOMINATION..

The man who thinks Governor Hill is
not a shrewd, clear-headed man doesn't
know him. He will not court defeat and
hence is not the man to 90 into a losing
fight. There was come talk a while ago
about his being a candidate for the Presi-
dency, but it appears he has come to the
very wise conclusion to let slip the Presi-
Dental bee and leave the field open to Mr..
Cleveland. This will not be pleasing news
to Republicans who have insisted upon
Governor Hill being a candidate and have
busily engaged themselves in dividing the
Democratict party into Hill and Cleveland
factions.
The logic OF the situation is that Cleve-
land will be renominated. II he live, it will
be simply impossible to prevent it, and
within the next few months we shall see
Democratic journals 10y opposing him,
swinging gracefully into line. There will be
practically 10 opposition to him in the
convention. What little there may be will
come from Democratic cranks who will not
have sense enough to know when they are
whipped.
The situation in the Republican party is
quite different, yet there are elements at
work within it which tend as strongly toward
one man as do the conditions in the Dem
ocratic party. The Democrats will take
Cleveland because they want him. The
Republicans will take Blaine because they
can't help themselves. He will be forced
upon them, notwithstanding the New York
Times and the mugwumps OF 1884. If both
men live Cleveland and Blaine will fight their
battle over again. Its result cannot be
misiudged even at this early day. The
same elements in the Republican party
that worked to defeat Blaine in 'S4 will be
ound openly fighting for Cleveland in 1883.
The handwriting is or the wall and it re-
quires no Daniel to interpret it.

DRY of thoee VIC gave up their lives for
their country, and thereby secured to them

so many are of foreign birth and need to
be reminded Of the most solemn episode in
this Nations history.

ever recurring reminder Of what all pa
triotic citizens of the United States owe to

n AND MINING.

The ANY & Silversmith mine is working
a force nfforty men developing on the 400
and 500 levels.
The Champion is daily shipping it's regu-
lar amount Of ore tt the Butte Reduction
Works. The little hoist works to per-
lection.
The Old Lexington is crushing thirty
tons of ore a day OF twenty-four hours.
The Silver Bow mill gets away with only
seven tons more.
Miners will be put to work on Sunday in
the Hope mine stopping. The shaft was
sunk twenty feet the last week and favor-
able progress is being made.
The new boilers at the Bluebird mill have
been placed in position and will be ready
to steam up on the completion OF the
work on the stamps now being added.
The chutes where the Bluebird cars are
loaded for the mill could be greatly i'm
proved on. as at present they are very in
convenient when the brakeman starts his
train.
The crosscut on the 300 level at the
Orphan Girl shows very good Indications
The ledge has been penetrated five feet and
prospecting and developing are in active
progress.
Sufficient ore is being produced from the
large ore boIy of the Josephine just east
OF the Lexington to keep the eleven stamps
of the Old Lexington as we'll as those OF
the Margaret Ann mills continually drop
ping.
Mesers. Murphy and Thompson. miner
aicgists of the Butte Reduction Works,
have sampled some copper ore taken from
different mines in Park Canyon, and re-
port that though some Of the specimens
are very fine, it is not present in sufficient
quantities to pay for working. They in
tend making an extensive trip to out-of-the-
way gulches and canyons prospecting.
Anaconda Review: The Blue-Eyed Nellie
continues to ship a carload per day OF its
fine ore. The owners of the Silver Chain
mine in Ol.on Gulch have purchased a dia'
mond drill and it has arrived in Anaconda.
They expect to have it in position and
commence work by June 1 and shipping by
the 10th. The snow has gone sufficiently
from the hills to allow the prospectors to
work to the south side of the hills, and
they are busy searching for new leads.
The Ca BILE mill has been shut down for a
time to allow them to do some develop
ment work which was necessary. We
learn that the parties owning the coal
prospect west Of town expect to ave ar.
engagements completed soon and 60 on and
develop that property.
